Urban women find life quality decreasing 城市女性生活质量下降
A new survey of women in 10 Chinese cities shows that the standard of living for urban women is declining, the Beijing Times reports. Urban women are also most anxious about rising prices, not being able to afford a house and low family-income, survey results showed. Almost 70% of women surveyed said the most important thing for happiness was their family's health; 66% said it was harmony within the family. About 36% said they get happiness from their children's progress. Low job satisfaction, fierce workplace competition and lay-offs all contributed to women's work pressure. The survey was carried out in cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The surveyed women had an average age of 35. 《京华时报》消息,一份在中国10个城市开展的调查显示,我国城市女性生活质量呈现下降趋势。城市女性最焦虑的事情是物价上涨、买不起房和家庭收入低。大约70%的受访女性认为最幸福的事是家人健康,约66%的女性则认为是家庭和睦,约36%的女性则认为孩子有进步才是他们最幸福的事。同时,城市女性对工作满意度值不高,职场竞争激烈和单位裁员成为女性工作压力的主要来源。这份调查在北京、上海、广州、深圳等城市展开。受访女性平均年龄为35岁。
